Some of the richest port in tbe world is produced in New Jersey by Mr. Alfred Speer, whose name has become celebrated as a producer of strictly pure unadulterated wine. Tbo Port Grape Wine of Mr. Spoer is not bottled or put in market until it is four years old, and ha* become thoroughly fine and mellow. It has proved itself a wonderful assistant l* physicians, who prescribe it from the faci that they have hitherto found it diflhult to obtain Port Wine. This Wine is re commended for debilitated persons; und is given to consumptives to use with frcsb raw eggs, and as a medium for taking cod liver oil. The difficulty of getting an im ported or even a pure California Port is well understood to be so great as to pre clude Doctors from allowing their patienu to run the risk of it* use. Air. Speer be ing aware of this fact has taken tbe utmost caie in the making of his wine from the ripest and finest grapes, so as to supplant the imported wines by producing a genu ine article, iiis wine# are known by chem ists to be pure and the most reliable for medicinal purposes.

Philadelphia politics and politicians have become so corrupt and debased with in the last few years that no decent, hon et or honorable man in or out of the city could he found to take part in its politic*, or be in company with its politicians. That tho great city of our stato should be di-gracc-d, and its government left under the control of inen who rob and pfundci the public, is the regret of every honest man in tho commonwealth. But there nn men ail over the state who strive dilligent ly to follow the foot steps of thoie who rot and plunder the people of Philadelphia We have politicians of that class in Cen tre county, Some arc now seeking a noni iiiation who believe like rulers of Phila delphia, that there is nothing lionorubli in politics, arid in it, it is fair to resort to ' any meant to accomplish this purpose o to make their nomination. Accepting thi- S is u principle whenever u certain candidat n this county i in deep water and fear j he may riot reach the shore, when baillim with the honest sons of Centre county tn -ends to Philadelphia und imports one <• , the most despicable and drunken of he politicians, and foists him on tho bone* people of this county n* his friend, am under pretense that lie has a residence ii " this township, when hn has not voted ii b the county for years at a regular election This was done by Air. Meek in 1871 ii his contest with Mr. Orvis and every yea since when there was a contest and a shot ■>f the people choosir.g a man who believ ed in honesty in politics as well as in busi G ness. Why is it that the people of th county must each year have this burnmt and repeater drawn out of the slough an .Corruption of Philadelphia, by Mr, Meei mill foltte-J upon them? Are we n cur, have Mr Mock tend to Philadolphi* j about lliroo wwki before tbo delegate w> elections and procure one of her black is guard* and low politician* to corrupt our 10 people ?

An old English record state* that a* ear '" ly a* the middle of the eighteenth century 10 some enterprising genius Introduced urn ' ' hrellas at Oxford and Cambridge, letting I" them out, like sedan chairs, to the studonti '• nl *0 much per hour, thus enabling poor I" young men to pas* Bom building to build ing to their lei-lure* without being drench -il by rain. But people no more thought of taking an umbrella about tbo street* of a town or city, than of taking a bed to „ sleep In, or a *tove lo warm tbeiiiielvM by, y as lliey wont about their regular business. The first pert on who ventured 011 such r t 'l an innovation was Jonas Hanway—the v sum- benevolent old gentleman to whr China and other parts of the East, where umbrella* were In general use and having brought one over with him, as a sort of cu i rlosity, ha at length determined to avail himself of iu protective benefits, and tc Mi one day ventured on the streets of London, >t bidding "tbe queer-looking apparatus" over his head, during a heavy rain. Per. Itaps, it he had known what a shower ol ;> ridicu'o. Slid even abuse, lie was provok ing. be would rather have faced the rain. K-r group* f men hustled biiu on thr side walks, and celled him mad ; women, *, iroin windows and doors, clapped their L 'lands and laughed ; and boys in crowds ran af\er him, biasing, hooting, and even , pelting him with stones. But they soon > *-ars alter Mr. lian. ,! way's first experiment before another man n in London found courage to own or carry ' an umbrella. Jonas llanway died in 1776, , and for the last thirty years of bis life he carried an umbrella whenever either sut or ra 11 rendered one desirable; yet the I present century had passed more than iu first decade before the ute of Umbrella* j 1 became gc"wral. t aniuo fl-ipcr Fetldge •V.\, IJ for .1 UYA.-r If* jrr 1 Fculify Pcwdr.
